[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 229069, member: 42112"] Hello! A good way to tackle this question is to show intentional, proactive learning (rather than an "I'll learn as I go" approach). To do this, you could touch on a few areas: [LIST] [*]Seeking feedback regularly: asking supervisors and colleagues for constructive feedback and actively acting on it [*]Reflective practice: reflecting on tasks that you have completed, and discussing what went well / what didn't, and what you would do differently next time [*]Using resources: you could discuss keeping up to date with legal developments through training sessions, CPD, internal know-how systems, etc. [*]Asking questions and taking initiative: one of the main ways is to show how you would continually show curiosity, seek clarification for any points that you don't understand, or volunteering for work that you haven't had the opportunity to complete before [*]Learning from others: observing senior associates / partners, learning different working styles, and collaborating with those around you [*]Setting development goals: for example, this could be identifying skills that you want to specifically build during each seat and tracking your progress. [/LIST] If you can, I would link this to examples from your past experiences (i.e. university, work, or other extracurriculars). This can help strengthen your answer by making it fact-based and tailored. I hope that helps as a starting point! :) [/QUOTE]
